My daughter was always going last night but we were excited when two of her besties from youth group and church basketball also came. I think the age range was rising 6th graders through current 9th graders. The Scoutmaster took the girls outside for about 30 minutes towards the end so the parents could ask some nitty gritty questions....Read More

I am sure many collectors have had moments when they put something up for sale because of a bill coming due. I've got a pair of super tough Philmont Ranger jacket patches(1971, 1972) up for bids for a simple goal. Sophia's fees for the 2019 WSJ are about $2500. Even selling these two won't pay for 1/2 of the...Read More

This was a cool trip partially because it was a place that I had camped at with my troop as a Boy Scout back in the day. Now living in Charlotte this park is only an hour away. Today the girls hiked the battlefield trail and earned the patch. My contribution to the trip included breakfast this morning in...Read More

Since Tuesday a lot has happened! I spent the better part of a day working to improve my website Scoutpatchcollectors.com. I found a few bugs that made navigation difficult and there were some pages that needed to be fixed. So today I can share that I'm not only proud to share the improved site but that I'm recording my first...Read More

This year at camp we are rolling out a completely new program model. We have been promoting it heavily in the council and now that the website is live we can spread the word to the masses. It's interesting how today any troop in the southeast is really our target market. As you know troops today think nothing of...Read More

Tonight I have a Girl Scout meeting (I registered Friday as an official co-leader) in preparation for next weekend's camping trip. After a Pack meeting Monday the next big event is the informational meeting for our church's new Scouts BSA Girl Troop Thursday...Read More

Last night I traveled to Camden, SC to attend the Wateree District Committee meeting and round table. I was there to pitch Camp Barstow to the folks that live on the eastern edge of the council. Ironically I made a connection with one of the adult leaders who grew up in my home council. We told old camp and...Read More

I got contacted by a good OA brother that wants to come check out my warehouse and potentially help me out sorting and getting some stuff done. He said he is willing to work for patches. Oh man I might finally figure out what's in all those boxes stacked on shelves! CLICK HERE TO OPEN THE OCTOBER 30,...Read More

I also got an update on the Santee Lodge 116 TOR that will take place the first Saturday of 2019. What better place to hold a 1-day show than Myrtle Beach, SC in January. I know at first you might say wait you can't go in the ocean in January! But the truth is there are sooo many hotels...Read More

This morning I'm going to fill a Best Hobby Pages order for a lodge trading post! I had a talk with one of the advisers on the phone who was lamenting that patch trading seems to have faded in his lodge. One way they are fighting back is to sell the BHP 6p Scout pages in their Trading Post....Read More

I sometimes get random emails from people asking me if I'm interested in stuff they come across. Yesterday I got one of those on something really old from an corner of the hobby that I don't really collect. However, I really want to go after this piece because it's just too cool. I don't want to jinx the...Read More

I was so distracted because I'm up against a deadline to get the website finished and the leaders guide wrapped up for Camp Barstow. Tonight in Columbia, SC we have an appreciation night for the leaders and parents and will use that opportunity to promote the camp. I'm leaving work today around 2 PM to head that way. ...Read More

Our pack was well represented with more than a dozen new female Cubs in attendance. They put on a pretty good skit Saturday night. One of the youngest closed our campfire by reciting the Scout Law. My daughter Sophia got to bond with some of the older girls that will be charter members of a Scouts BSA troop in...Read More

What I am going for in this new blog post is to see how collectors are using Besthobbypages.com to organize and store their collection. Ask yourself this question. If you have thousands of dollars invested in your patch collection why would you store it in a shoebox or a gallon size zip-lock bag? I think that's where BHP...Read More

I've just published information on the website with details on next year's Charlotte TOR. We are staying on the goldilocks weekend that is just after many lodge spring events but not too close to Easter or late April conclaves to create a conflict. I hope you can make plans to attend. This is our 3rd year and the show...Read More

I started collecting Boy Scout memorabilia when I was inducted into Santee Lodge 116, Order of the Arrow at Camp Coker in the summer of 1986. All the guys of ISWA chapter in Elk campsite seemed to be trading and since my dad sent me to camp with a small bag of patches, I jumped in and never looked back....
